The Bartlett Arboretum in Stamford, CT has several themed areas, or collections. One is the Native Shade Plant Garden, showcasing plants of Connecticut.

From their website:

"The flowering plants, shrubs, and ferns featured in this garden are native to the northeast. These varieties existed in the region when European settlers first arrived and co-evolved with local insects, birds and other animals to form an interdependent community. They are ideal for any ecologically balanced garden, as they require limited resources and attract and support native pollinators."
